Doing Everything in Love

I can't even begin to describe how thrilled I was to be able to take our OM team to Worlds. It was such a joy to witness and be a part of the kids' experience... interacting with the other thousands of students from all over the world, pin trading, some being away from their parents for the first time, sleeping in a dorm (REAL college life?!) watching them perform the skit they've worked so hard on for MONTHS, spending the money they raised to get there, seeing a city/DC for the first time...

The highlights were running through the Natural History museum with the girls and being totally engrossed in the exhibits, hearing, "We totally learned this in science! It all makes sense now!" and running around the campus together creating inside jokes and nonstop giggling.

The founder of OM said to the thousands of kids in that arena that they are the future of our world and that it's imperative to one day give back to future generations in the same way the coaches have created the opportunity for them (which resonated deep in my heart.)

He's totally right :)
